    John Lord for me.  Ye olde Number 4 could also take grabs down forward and slot a few goals. He could also bring it to ground for Barassi, Ridley and Adams-all renowned goal kickers. Hassa would also be lurking close by!

    Stop it, you guys. It hurts to remember ... such great players, such memories and then we realise their demise and the silent years that followed. Oh, it was absolutely fabulous, so continue. Just reading the above four sentences everything they did floods back at that is a real pleasure. What about Vagg, Bourke and others including the excellence of Norm the Smith?

    a hammy strain for Gawn is clearly bad news given his age and importance to the side. the next block of preseason 4-5 is arguably the most important so let’s hope it is very minor. 

    with Schache pretty much our only real option after Grundy, and a poor one at that, we need a bit of luck with injuries in the ruck department 

    Gawn injury update…

    So effectively our injury list includes Max Gawn (hamstring but not serious), Angus Brayshaw (awaiting results of scans but training), Jake Lever (ankle issues - dating back to the 2022 semi final?), AMW, Joel Smith and train on player Trent Burgoyne and newbies Adams & Verrall.

    Round 1 

    May - hamstring TBC 

    Salem - thyroid TBC 

    Fritsch - foot - round 2/3

    Viney - knee - TBC 

    4 key players out. Arguably 4 of our best 10 players.

    According to today’s Herald Sun ~

    “While the Dees will lose star forward Kysaiah Pickett, they have four reinforcements likely to be available from their 2021 premiership side - Christian Salem (thyroid), Jack Viney (knee), Steven May (calf) and Bayley Fritsch (foot).

    “The quartet successfully completed the Demons session at Gosch’s Paddock on Monday.”

    would you really want to drop McVee. Just think the confidence booster of another game may set him up for a life time of Demonisism.

    I made no comment on selection. Just quoted who was available after injury. It’s up to the selectors now to decide the makeup of the team.

    Taj really unlucky (dislocated finger - out 6 weeks) he would have been a chance to play ahead of Laurie i reckon.

    At least the injury doesn't impact his fitness levels to much.

    Terrific that taj is now the ONLY player on the injury list, which is pretty remarkable.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
